This is possibly the most brutal decision I've had to make all month.

Oh no… OHH NOO… THERE’S SO MANY GOOD ONES…
* Oh wait you can choose multiple… ok.

It's not multiple choice.
It's preferential voting.

Never have I ever been presented with such hard & brutal choices...

Is there a possibility of this new update will be released before the deadline of vanilla contest?

Posted: **Wed Apr 27, 2022 4:10 pm**

i really like this poll idea for including user created NPCs for the next build.

That said, I do think only having 1 from M and S is a bit too little especially given how many good (and arguably essential) NPCs there are in the list. Maybe include the top 3?

It says on the voting form that the top 4 from M and the top 6 from S are chosen. Totally agree that choosing just one would be too little :D

First and foremost, grats to MDA for getting his Plants and Spikes into the basegame. The Plants have been on the roadmap forever and I'm looking forward to having their countless customization options as a vanilla asset.

But speaking of roadmapped NPCs...

SMB3 - Airship Cannons by Lusho - viewtopic.php?f=101&t=26593
Homing, rotating and stationary cannon NPCs for upping your airship and tank artillery to the next level. The cannons will be split up into more NPCs to make them easy to configure.

Airship Cannons and their Cannonballs are already roadmapped to 541-544 (with big versions from 545-548). Wouldn't Lusho's Cannons cover those, with infinitely more customization (angle, firing rate, firing speed, volley amount, ect.) even if broken up into 3 separate NPCs? I feel that if Cannons are already slated to be added, Lusho's should just be ported in and not be redundantly voted on.

Other than that food for thought, this is an awesome idea and I'm just hoping my favorite standard and boss NPCs (both of which are on the list) make the cut!

Solid reasoning, but not one which I follow for this. It's a bit of a slippery-slope as you could also reason that some other things like MDA's sonic monitors should win by default, when they're something I've intentionally left out of this first head-to-head. The key bottleneck here is the time I have to implement all these things, and if we didn't vote on cannons we'd be voting on the plants instead. Not all holes in the progress sheet need to be filled immediately, but I agree they're all things that'd be good to get to eventually.

Some really close decisions. but these would all be great additions

Posted: **Fri Apr 29, 2022 6:56 am**

Those selections are really hard to choice, but I'll try.

I said I'd announce it 3 days before, because I hadn't made a decision at the time yet. However, we have a REALLY strong set of responses already, so I'm just gonna decide now.

VOTING ENDS ON SATURDAY, MAY 7TH AT 11:00PM BERLIN TIME

You can expect an announcement of the winners at some time on Sunday.

Thanks a ton for reaching out to the community for this. It's super exciting!

Posted: **Sat May 07, 2022 5:01 pm**

The form is now closed! Thanks all for voting. There are a total of 107 responses, if you were curious about that. I'll announce the results as soon as I'm done figuring out who won.
